Review/Blog Tour: Reborn Yesterday by Tessa Bailey
SYNOPSIS:
A timeless love story with bite.
It was a night like any other for funeral home director Ginny Lynn, until the exceptionally handsome—and unfortunately deceased—young man on her embalming table sat up, opened his emerald eyes and changed the course of her life forever, making her feel quite fluttery while he was at it.
Humans aren’t supposed to know Jonas Cantrell, or any vampire, exists. It’s kind of a major rule. Despite his instantaneous bond with perfectly peculiar Ginny, he has no choice but to erase her memories of their one and only meeting.
That was the plan. Before a reluctant Jonas can wipe Ginny’s mind clean, she reveals a secret that brings their worlds crashing together. Human and vampire. Past and present. Darkness and light. And while their love is strictly forbidden, it might be the only thing that can save them…
Reborn Yesterday is a standalone paranormal romantic comedy with a happily ever after.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
Three words to describe this book…I NEED MORE. This book was so very good, it is the adult vampire book I have been waiting for. A plot filled with tension, passion, hidden dangers, and twists balanced perfectly with a salacious romance that left me looking like a tomato…as only Tessa Bailey does.
So lets dive into why this story was so great, starting off with the characters. Ginny was whimsical, quirky wit and I adored her. She was silly and added the perfect amount of comic relief to tense moments. In comparison, Jonas was, ugh how do I even put him into words?! He was delectable, self-less, endlessly strong, and drop-dead sexy (pun intended because I am a horrible human being).
Their compatibility and chemistry was off the charts, but don’t be fooled, Tessa is giving you a slow burn this go around. I was astonished when I was over 40% into the story and a kiss hadn’t even happened. But let me tell you…that first kiss was worth the wait. Can I even call what occurred a kiss? Let’s just say I was a blushing fool, and I had to pause to fan myself because good Lord was that hot. So steamy I am blushing as I write the review.
Jonas’ roommates and friends added another layer of banter and characters I am desperate to get a story. Like Elias and Roksana…I was almost just as intrigued by their story as Jonas and Ginny’s own. And don’t even get me started on how I was pondering who Tucker would be perfectly suited for. The plot was fast-paced and action packed, so naturally I couldn’t put the book down and read it in one sitting. So now, I will be not so patiently waiting for book 2.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.

Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the workforce as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.
